Associated Controls + Design About Our Business
Associated Controls + Design was born out of necessity. In 1999, our fifty-eight-year-old parent company
(www.cmbuck.com) was being repeatedly asked for assistance in the design of increasingly sophisticated
dimming and control systems.
Our initial mandate was to be the dimming, controls and lighting specialist for C.M. Buck Associates, Inc's
clients. Those clients then pushed us to go further and to provide more complete design and installation
services. As our reputation grew and our name became known in the architectural and engineering
communities, we found ourselves being asked to work with their rigging (suspension) applications, as well.
Our philosophy then, as now, was to provide high-quality equipment, excellent installations, and satisfied
clients at a reasonable cost.
We have steadily broadened our palette of services to what you find today. No longer are we only a
theatrical lighting, dimming and controls company—although we still do that. Architectural consultation,
theatrical equipment (rigging, acoustical shells, orchestra pit equipment, performance lighting, specialty
architectural and effect lighting, seating, flooring) design and specification, existing systems inspections
and service, dimming system field service, and product sales are just some of the services that we
currently offer.
We look forward to continued growth in the years to come as we continue to support facility owners and
users, architects and engineers in their endeavors with these specialized buildings.
